The Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)

Industrial and systems engineering is a system-oriented discipline concerned with the design, installation, management, operation and improvement of systems that produce goods and services.

The ndustrial and systems engineering discipline follows an integrated approach that considers the entire life cycle of a product or service produced, from design through production, delivery, and customer support.

The goal of industrial and systems engineering is to design and improve performance in products or systems by using resources efficiently. Industrial and systems engineers are concerned with efficiency, quality, productivity, manufacturability, environmental impact, cost-effectiveness, timeliness, and customer and systems safety and customer satisfaction.

The skills you gain as industrial and systems engineer do not only apply to manufacturing, but it also encompasses service industries, with many IEs employed in entertainment industries, shipping and logistics businesses, and health care organizations.

Engineering Management: Planning, implementing and evaluation of engineering systems; including both manufacturing and service sectors.

Supply Chain: Tool for the effective design and management of supply chain system. Area of focus include logistics strategies, network design and supply chain integration.

Process Innovation and Optimization: Application of Lean Six Sigma and data analysis tools to improve/innovate processes.

Health Systems: Study of patient and information flow to optimize critical resources in a healthcare system.
